There are sometimes parts within us that don’t feel good: anxious parts, timid parts, fearful parts, angry parts, parts that want to hide, parts that struggle to state what you want…

And in other corners of ourselves, parts can get upset about those parts. They say things like, ‘why are you so broken? Why can’t you just live life fully? We’re missing out!’

And a battle can ensue. Tension. 

Plus all the original pain of whatever you’re dealing with.

There is a way to bring all these parts together into harmony AND find your power — to get your SELF into the CEO seat of your life and get momentum. 

To embody this Self means coming home to your wholeness, power and ease.

This is the work of Internal Family Systems (IFS), guided by mindful-somatics.

In this 6-part group coaching series, WHOLE SELF invites you to connect with the parts of yourself that hold pain, fear, negative self-talk, or disconnection, and gently integrate them into a harmonious whole. Together, in a group of 6-9 participants, we’ll explore how your body and (sub-conscious) mind work together to create a sense of balance, healing, and inner wholeness.

IN THIS GROUP COACHING SERIES, YOU CAN:

• Not get taken over in the same way
  When anxiety, shutdown, or low mood comes in, it doesn’t completely run the show, you have more space to respond, not just react

• Get out of loops of overthinking or avoidance
  Less going in circles, more ability to make a decision and move forward

• Have less inner fighting, more internal cooperation
  Parts of you aren’t constantly pulling in opposite directions and things start to feel more aligned inside

• Have a different relationship with heavy or stuck states
  Instead of “I’m stuck like this”, it becomes something you can meet, understand, and move with

• Soften self-criticism into more self-trust
  Less “what’s wrong with me?” and more understanding of why you feel and act the way you do

• Feel more steady in your body
  Less bracing, tension, or shutdown and more presence, grounding, and capacity

• Know what to do when something takes over
  Not just coping or pushing through and instead having a way to work with what’s happening inside you

• Follow through on what matters to you
  Not getting stopped at the same point every time and being able to take steps, even when parts of you feel unsure

• Understand your patterns at a deeper level
  Seeing how different parts are trying to help and not feeling confused by your own reactions anymore

• More trust in yourself
  Less second-guessing so decisions feel clearer and more grounded

• A way of working with yourself you can keep using
  Not needing more thinking or more “figuring it out”, but having a process you can return to when things come up

• More space for ease, connection, and aliveness
  Being less dominated by protective patterns and more access to how you actually want to feel and live

HOW IT WORKS:

We meet live on Zoom, once a week for six 2-hour sessions (groups are small: 8–12 people).

Each session includes:

• Guided somatic practices

• IFS-informed parts work

• Nervous system pyschoeducation and practice

• Partnered or small group processes

• Integration tools to support you between sessions

• Optional check-ins and support from the group & me

• Recordings of teaching (not group work)

The added gift of doing your healing/growth work in a group:

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. But there may very well be parts that try to keep you alone...

There’s immense power in allowing others hold you and join you on your healing/awareness journey. It’s a kind of corrective experience.

And you amplify your transformation by witnessing their journey too — you deeply learn from their experiences while staying rooted in your own process.

Plus, you can meet some rad allies.

Working in a group also makes it more affordable.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Whether you’re feeling stuck in inner conflict, overwhelmed by emotions, or disconnected from your self, WHOLE SELF is designed to meet you where you’re at and support your journey toward harmony and wholeness.

We welcome anyone who is navigating challenges such as:

• Struggling to set boundaries without guilt or fear of rejection

• Feeling caught in patterns of overthinking or disconnection from the present moment

• Battling inner self-criticism or negative self-talk

• Facing indecision or a lack of clarity about life direction

• Navigating relationship challenges, like anxious or avoidant attachment

• Holding onto emotional baggage from childhood, family or breakups

• Longing to live authentically without being held back by insecurities or people-pleasing tendencies

• Wanting to feel more love and compassion for yourself

• Seeking resilience to handle life’s challenges with calm and confidence

• Wanting to get out of repetitive patterns or the "Groundhog Day" of daily life

This trauma-informed, somatic, and Internal Family Systems-informed workshop is for you if you’re ready to break free from the cycles that keep you stuck, integrate your inner parts into a harmonious whole, and cultivate a life that feels more aligned, joyful, and authentic.
